Story
Let’s start your restaurant legacy right now, right here! National chains and single independent restaurants all started with an individual and an idea. A concept. A dream. Small ideas can grow into big business. Who would have thought that a guy with a milkshake machine could start a hamburger empire? A pizza made in a garage would start today’s pizza wars? A guy with a pressure-cooker would start a fried chicken phenomena? Business ownership has always been part of the all-American dream. Restaurants are the largest entrepreneurial opportunity in America for starting the dream.

Publisher's summary
A one-stop start-up guide from an accountant-turned-restaurateur.
Ninety percent of all restaurants fail, and those that succeed happened upon that mysterious X factor, right? Wrong! A man of many hats - money-guy, restaurant owner, and restaurant consultant - Roger Fields shows how a restaurant can survive its first year and keep diners coming back for years. Featuring real-life start-up stories (including many of the author's own), this comprehensive how-to walks listeners through the logistics of opening a restaurant: concept, location, menu, ambiance, staff, and, most important, profit.
Updated to address current trends such as food trucks and to tackle online opportunities (and pitfalls!) including Groupon, Yelp, and Twitter, Restaurant Success by the Numbers remains a critical resource for navigating the food industry. Opening a restaurant isn't easy, but this realistic dreamer's guide helps set the table for lasting success.

Writing with wit and verve, Mike Veseth (a.k.a. the Wine Economist) tells the compelling story of the war between the market trends that are redrawing the world wine map and the terroirists who resist them. Wine and the wine business are at a critical crossroad today, transformed by three powerful forces. Veseth begins with the first force, globalization, which is shifting the center of the wine world as global wine markets provide enthusiasts with a rich but overwhelming array of choices.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Must Read Book for Restaurateurs!!!
The intro and first chapter alone are some of the most empowering, motivating words toward restaurant ownership you will hear. If your investors listen to or read just those sections, they’ll be sold on the potential of your restaurant. All the ins and outs of ownership and management are spot on. A bit dated: pre-pandemic, pre-Yelp, pre-door dash, etc. But the spirit rings through loud and clear with great tips from every aspect of your business, as told through the lens of profitability. Would love to see a third, updated edition!

Entry level book
This book is a nice peek in to the world for those that do not have experience beyond maybe entry level if even that. While the information for any experienced manager or operator is pretty redundant and the theories are pretty common fare the overall quality of the book is worth a listen.

Basically covers the concepts you'd find in an MBA program, but condensed and focused on restaurants. Maybe a bit basic if you're already familiar with these concepts, but works as a good checklist.

Interesting and comprehensive!
I really enjoyed this book. I would say it's best suited for those who are genuinely interested in starting a restaurant as it is quite involved and delves into the minutiae of operations, pricing, concept, etc, etc.
I appreciated the authors background as it lends credibility to his recommendations. The performance is also good and I never found myself focusing on the voice actors idiosyncrasies or speaking manner - he represents the material really well. A book this detailed could get boring quickly (even if you do want to open a restaurant), but the reader adds a lot of emotion and energy to the story which keeps it engaging.
I would highly recommend that would be restaurateurs pick this book up and give it a couple of listens - take notes!
